::: Exotic :::

[gnutmeg]

exotic?
I suppose you could say that
but it's never what I'd thought
of you

you're adorable, funny
spontaneous, unattainable

I would like nothing better
than to say
"you're wrong"
straight to your face

I'm autonomically minded
and that alone
is more than enough
to separate us

but we continue
like a new day
breaking yet beautiful
trading stars for clouds

and then a song
gets trapped in my skull
so I forget
what I mean to say

it's okay
I'm sure it'll come out
(as always)
if it's important

speaking of

it's important
that you love me
in your strange
exotic ways

it excites me joyfully
since I love you
in my own
uncommon style

wish I could make you understand
our textures
as we dance
between these lines
